The 49ers will get one of their starting safeties back for their Week 8 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. Free safety Jimmie Ward was listed as ‘questionable’ on the status report, but he was not among the team’s inactives.
Ward hurt his quad the Thursday prior to last week’s game in New England. That sidelined him for that contest and limited him in practice this week. He’ll be good to go though while Jaquiski Tartt remains out with a groin injury.
With Ward starting at free safety, it’ll likely be Marcell Harris joining him in the back end of the secondary with Tarvarius Moore and Johnathan Cyprien serving as backups.
Here’s who won’t be suiting up Sunday for the 49ers:
QB CJ Beathard
CB Ken Webster
LB Kwon Alexander (ankle)
SS Jaquiski Tartt (groin)
WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring)
WR Richie James Jr. (ankle)
A notable name not on this list is wide receiver Dante Pettis who’ll be active for the first time since Week 4.
The Seahawks enter Sunday banged up as well. They’ll be without their top two running backs, Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde, strong safety Jamal Adams.
Here are Seattle’s inactives:
SS Jamal Adams
RB Carlos Hyde
RB Chris Carson
CB Shaquill Griffin
G Mike Iupati
S Ugo Amadi
DE Benson Mayowa
